Burton (First Leg) Post Match Thread

[andypandy]

Surely it would be more disrespectful to have eased off

We showed professionalism for the entire game and so did Burton. They kept going and fought to the end trying their best and not trying to kick the shit out of us

Clough, his staff and everyone at Burton deserve huge credit for their cup run and I hope they do well in the league for the rest of their season

We cant do that its disrespectful

Pep won't do that.

Slight advantge into the 2nd leg. We just need to keep it tight for the 1st 30 minutes at the Pirelli.. :)

I just wonder whether we're gonna be a goal or two short. Those misses coming back to bite our arses?

I had £7.20 on 9-0 @125/1 if I’d of held my nerve I’d of had £907 but I thought we would get ten, so I hit the button!

And that's why the button's there.

Wow, that was enjoyable! What impressed me was how the players, even when the tie was won, still fought for everything. No showboating, no fannying about, just determined professionalism. What a fantastic worth ethic the manager has got from this bunch of players. Wembley here we come.

They played some good stuff, another decent footballing side from the lower leagues, it’s what you’d like to see if you were a Burton fan instead of kick and rush like Cardiff. Just got back and watching again and they did knock it about neatly at times.

I wasn't there, armchair these days for this competition, but they played some decent stuff, a bit naive at times, but they never gave up fighting, we were just very good.

Odd that the media keep mentioning Liverpool winning 10 - 0 v Fulham in the league cup (still record single match score) over 30 years ago. Why was that not disrespectful too ? That was 4-0 at half time and they scored 4 in the last 20 minutes. Why did they not ease up?

Oh and they had 13,400 fans at Anfield. We had over 35,000 tonight. Why were there not more goals than fans at Liverpool when the ratio was 1 goal for 1340 fans at Anfield and 1 goal for nearly 4000 tonight?

Just so we can out disrespect Liverpool further they won the away leg 3-2 and that result - 13-2 is still the biggest aggregate win over two legs.

So we know what to do - score 5 at Burton and then Liverpool can lose all that terrible disrespect against Fulham they must have had to live with for so long. As I am sure yopu all remember them being criticised over.

32,089 there tonight.

Talk Sport were doing their usual baiting on the way home, fucking pricks focusing on whether Foden should leave because we only gave him 30 mins, lol.

Gundogan, his weight of pass over defenders into a box is outstanding
